here https://kompendium.xs650.de/ you find a collection of documents about the XS650 such as maintenance books, driver's manuals, spare parts lists, brochures, technical bulletins, etc. Are you interested in an English version?

The cutaway engine was used for training mechanicans in Germany - the reason for european pistons and conrods. The ignition points plate is on the wrong side and the crankcase vent is upside down - I don't know why, there may be more mistakes like the cotter pin, which I didn't realize when...

The cutaway model was used for training motorcycle mechanicans. It was on display in a local pub. all pics are available on https://www.flickr.com/photos/hjpahl/ now

as promised, the pics - there are 51 in total. Who knows an easier way to upload them?

just found this. most of the pics in the book can be downloaded from here: http://www.hjpahl.com/xs650motor_galerie/galerie.html Of course I have taken more photos of the cutaway model than there are in the book. If somebody is interested, I can sent them as an e-mail. Please sent me your...

I’m glad that you consider the price of the book as justified. To show the disassembly and the assembly of the engine step by step, a lot of photographs are necessary. Since the space for the photographs in a printed book is limited, they have to be quite small. In an e-book you can enlarge...

The book is now also available as an e-book for $ 14,95 https://www.amazon.com/Yamaha-XS650-Engine-Including-Electric-ebook/dp/B071W5SSPY/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1496410339&sr=1-3&keywords=yamaha+xs650

Figure 7-18 on page 91 belongs to me. It is Abb. 6-45 on page 100 in the German book and you can download it among all the other pictures in the German book from my website http://www.hjpahl.com/xs650motor_galerie/galerie.html

hello Nicholas, I have already joined this forum a couple of days ago, but do you know any other forums? http://xs650.freeforums.net/thread/355/germany Then I have posted it on the notice board of the Australien XS650 community

I think it will be no problem, when the links to the homemade English versions remain here. So you can roughly see what you get before ordering a book

Hi Peter, as I told Nicholas already, the books are printed on demand in your country.

hello Nicholas, sorry that I have to disappoint you, it is available since sunday and you are not the first one. The books are printed on demand in the country where they are ordered. So I can't sign a copy. I hope you will like the book.

If the links above don't work, please copy them into the address line of your browser

Since my busyness does’n not run so well at the moment and I prepare for retirement by the end of the year, I have found some time to make an English version of the manual, whitch is available on amazon.com now. Here http://www.hjpahl.com/book_excerpt.pdf you can downloqad an excerpt of...
